Fellow Cyclist



The Nassau County Museum of Art has an amazing collection of sculpture on the grounds, and visitors pass by a number of the pieces on the way in.  This one caught my eye the other day - gee, I wonder why?  The piece is called "Girl on a Bicycle" by Bruno Lucchesi.  It is such a creative piece - if you look closely, it is amazing how the artist has represented the bicycle, and the wheels and spokes in such a clever way.  The best part, however is the woman rider. - she is amazing, and you can spend a lot of time examining the details of how she is represented.  She is absolutely striking.

  3. She is riding without a helmet, and while wearing sandals. I guess she is not headed for the Tour de France.
